Do you not see the difference?

by joining with them you give them legitimacy whether that is your intention or not.
lock downs and restrictions will end when it is actually safe for them to do so, it's that simple, nobody wants them to exist for any longer then is actually necessary.

We'll likely be in lockdown into 2022.

They have managed to convince people, who are perfectly healthy that they are sick by testing them with tech that was invented 30 years ago (PCR) and they must now take a vaccine to be healthy again.

I'm impressed.

BLM protests for some black guy in a different continent in the middle of a pandemic in which we knew little about = Okay, work away lads.

Protests to ease restrictions for what we know now to be a mild virus with over 99% survival rate = You're all loons and nutjobs.

What a strange little country we live in.

No, they’ll end when enough people demand they end.

The govt are doing a fine job of radicalising moderate people. If we are facing a summer of more draconian restrictions than last despite the fact that we have 6 or 7 vaccines, mandatory quarantine, and compulsory mask mandate that wasn't in place for most of last years summer it does make you think. Most of vulnerable and elderly will be vaccinated by end of Q2 but yet there seems to be no end game. Instead we are now told that we must watch out for new variants. How do you put a time frame on that...
You don't have to affiliate with the 5G, Bill Gates microchip brigade but the locking up a healthy population brigade are now crossing the rubicon in terms of craziness too. And you need to let your voice heard. When history is written and your children read in their history books about the pandemic in Ireland in 2020 - 202X, you can always say I tried to make my voice heard and didn't just complain about it to strangers on an Internet forum. It can be anything. Write to your TD if you cant protest in person. If you don't well we will all be back here again next Autumn/ Winter.

normanoffside · 20-02-2021 07:29PM

Another thing, if enough people go to this protest and don’t like the cut of the gib of the organisers then they will organise their own protests next time.
There’s people from the left, right and middle, sensible people and the lunatic fringe who all want the end of lockdowns. I don’t want them to be political but if no one goes nothing will happen anyway.

They sure do hate when racism is highlighted.

Triggers them something fierce.

Protesting was always on the cards at some point. There were mask protests last year when they were made mandatory in shops and on public transport. But, if cases start going up and lockdown is increased further, I don't think people will be sympathetic to the cause.

Of course it is, if you are circulating their "flyer" and attending their "protest" you are promoting their lunacy.

But like I said let us know how you get on.

I’ve been radicalised boggles, not by the protest organisers but by our health authorities, government and media.

So your solution is if you can't beat them join them?

The restrictions have brought the cases down from 8000 per day to the current level, but we are still having cases in the hundreds every day.

So sick of reading the constant whinging here about how long the restrictions have been going on for, when the very reason the level hasn't been lightened is because of rampant non-compliance. Look what happened after Christmas when they lifted restrictions for a couple of weeks.

Now more and more here are saying they're going to just give up and do whatever the **** they like. And they'll wonder in 3, 4, 5 weeks time, why the numbers are going up again, and the restrictions have to be continued.

Its very disheartening for anyone who is vulnerable to read this, especially when the vaccination programme has been started and there could be an end in sight.

But sure, "other people are not your concern". I honestly give up.

I complied constantly... it made no difference. Christmas we met two people... that was it.

I did not add to this issue, others did, so now I could care less,

In honesty I have a small circle of friends and zero family here and will still be in the required.... but if others do it... good luck and enjoy yourselves

Mehole’s mumbling This week has been the nail in the coffin, there’s little doubt about it in my mind.

decreds · 20-02-2021 07:35PM

I recommend people watch the 1970's film The Hamburg Syndrome ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOjDL2FX0_8)

A "pandemic" breakouts out but no healthy people actually die from it and people are forced into lockdown and wear masks etc. The media repeat how serious it is on a daily basis but in reality no one is actually dying from it.

Those who don't believe in it and refuse to take the vaccine are swiftly to "quarantine camps" and the rest are vaccinated.

There is a scene in it where the elites behind the plan are at a party and are gloatingly dumbfounded by how easy it was to pull of, they laugh over using distractions such as "liberalism", "racism" and "environmentalism" made it too easy.

I'm not one for tinfoil hat theories but this is worth a watch.

Every protest group in history has had its loons and extremists, including Black Lives Matters' "trained Marxists" and smattering of black supremacists. That doesn't mean those groups didn't have an overall good cause and sentiment outside of the extreme few.

No protest movement would have gotten anywhere if everyone had stayed home for fear of being tarred with the same brush as the loons.

yes, but we aren't talking about a group who are wanting to bring some sort of genuine change for the genuine good, are we.
we are talking about a group who believe in conspiricy theories, who are protesting because nobody will listen to their conspiricy theories.
we then have others who are unable to deal with and face up to the situation we are in, because they are genuinely unable to do so or because they are just out to cause trouble for some political motive.
the ones out to cause trouble do not listen to facts, listen to alternative facts and conspiricy theories and twist facts to suit their narative.
they want us to implement a strategy that has already failed and causes much much more damage over all because they think some how they can jump in and save us from sensible politics.

Another masterstroke has been the ramp up in cancel culture, it has invoked fear in the majority of people to question any of this lunacy at fear of being cancelled and ridiculed in public.

A distant relative is a strength and conditioning coach for a team in England, all the players take the knee and share the same old covid "stay apart to stay together" bs on social media but in person they don't believe it any of it.

That's great as long as people are being smart about it . I'm happy to socialise with one or two People who like myself are working from.and not mixing with others as I know we are all in the same boat .
All these people who day it's coming to an end seem to forget that while we control.how far we travel and who we mix with , we don't really have a say over schools, sports,kids activities, holidays etc.. We could end up as a nation of house parties who are the pariahs of Europe and banned from Spain,Greece etc..
Personally if I the government days wear a green jumper for a 2 weeks and we'll reopen golf courses , I'll do it . I need my normal back , but that gets further away with every person who "dangerously" bends the rules

So what? We are at level 5 now so who cares if they rise, we'll still be at level 5.

If you're scared, stay under your bed.

I just don't give a sh1t anymore.

And I make no apologies for that.

1000's of dead Grand Parents = fine

Not hugging them = I'll never get over it.

They’ll end when other nearby countries end theirs. What the govt is saying now about May and June means nothing. As Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France end restrictions we’ll follow. Probably with about a 2 week lag to the most conservative of that group.

You love making up a narrative and then posting it as some factual thing. There was absolute outrage over the BLM protests in Dublin. I can easily dig up threads to support the widespread condemnation of those protests happening during coronavirus.

As usual, though you don't let the truth or facts getting in the way of your posts.

It is indeed. It plays on the sub conscious mind, note how these messages are always in the background and may be red/blue as the mind has been conditioned to view those colors as authoritative.

The main message or purpose of a talk or advertisement will not specifically state those words but it is always in the background. It is powerful and has clearly worked, i've witnessed grown men in their 30's wearing a mask walking down the road by themselves literally cross the road to avoid me on a near daily basis. ( i like to think it's due to covid fear anyway)

Yeah, easy to dig up threads as it's bound to have some rationale beings in there but i do not remember any outrage in the media over it whatsoever.

The thing is for a lot of people it's not about protecting themselves , it's about protecting others who are more vulnerable. I'd like to visit my parents and the only thing that's stopping me is the chance that I might infect them unknowingly not any government restrictions.
Also the long term effects are something I've seen first hand and something I'd be keen to avoid
